“My favorite hobby is thrift shopping. I absolutely love it and think there is no shame in it. It’s a great way to spend a weekend — go out early, get your coffee and hit up stores with friends.”

Malese continued, “It’s so much fun. You find stuff that you won’t see others wearing on the street — which is the worst when you shop at department stores and you see your look everywhere. I love being different and that’s the perfect way to find the coolest things.”
